Germany wants to strengthen its relationship with PH in response to the climate change

As one of the nations most vulnerable to climate change, Germany wants to enhance its collaboration with the Philippines and contribute to building up its climate resilience.

Germany’s State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action Jennifer Lee Morgan stressed the importance of promoting decarbonization and renewable energy sources while talking about climate mitigation.

She stated in an interview on Tuesday that while considering your energy sources, you should consider how resilient they are while also taking biodiversity into consideration.

“We’re looking to scale that up, and that’s what we’ll be discussing at our consultation (with Philippine authorities),” she continued.

Through the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of Germany, which provides over EUR63 million in funding for projects on greenhouse gas emission reduction, adaptation to the effects of climate change, preservation of natural carbon sinks with a focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), and biodiversity preservation, Manila and Berlin continue to collaborate closely.

According to Morgan, Germany also intends to advance a project that incorporates climate biodiversity and resilience through this relationship.

Together with the secretary of the environment, Antonia Loyzaga, Morgan is in Manila to oversee the inaugural Philippine-German Consultation on Climate.

She went to Tacloban City on Monday to meet with the victims of the catastrophic typhoon Yolanda, which hit the nation in 2013.

By the end of the year, Morgan added, Berlin would work with Manila and other international partners to create the loss and damage fund.

“I was in Tacloban yesterday, and talking to the survivors made me realize how critical it is that we act immediately to launch this loss and damage fund. She told reporters, “That’s a top priority.

The United Nations Loss and Damage Fund Transitional Committee, which is creating the aforementioned funds to aid developing nations, includes both Germany and the Philippines.

Extreme weather, sea level rise, glacial retreat, and other negative effects of climate change that cannot be mitigated or adapted to are referred to as loss and damage.
